Biography
Guy Cavallo worked as a clerk at France's embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, and he was upset about Syria's anger at a French documentary stating that Syria was responsible for murdering French ambassador Louis Delamare in September 1981 during the Lebanese Civil War. As a result, the Syrian Air Force intelligence services set out to assassinate Cavallo to send France another message during their rivalry. A gunman carried flowers to the apartment's door and was greeted by Cavallo's wife, who believed that he was a delivery man; the gunman shot her once in the head with a pistol after taking the flowers away from his face, and he proceeded to kill Cavallo as well. These murders came during a spree of Syrian and pro-Syrian attacks against France in Lebanon, followed by the Independent Nasserite Organization's bombing of the French embassy a month later.
